Golfisms!

Posted by: user77921 | Thu 6th Dec 2007 14:04 | Last Reply

I am new to this site and thought I would ask you all to depart some golfing wisdom on a new member! The question is not whether or not golfism should be in the english dictionary but instead what phrases you all use to describe shots and actions on the course.

As an example to get started: when someone in your playing party "duffs" a shot i.e hits the ball all along the floor, it is simply known as a "Sally Gunnell" (an ugly runner)!

A Kate Moss - thinned it
A Diego Maradonna - nasty five footer
A Salman Rushdie - an impossible read
A Rock Hudson- thought it was straight, but it wasn't
A ladyboy - Looks like an easy hole but all may not be what it seems

A Arthur Scargill - A great strike but a poor result
A Russell Grant - A fat iron
A Peter Mandelson - An unbelievable iron
A Kate Winslett - A bit fat but otherwise perfect
A Paula Radcliffe : Not as ugly as a Sally Gunnell but the same result

A Robin Cook - just died on the hill
A Michael Jackson - gradually fading
A Douglas Bader - looked good in the air, but didn't have the legs

A Mrs Patel - ugly, but a good worker
A circus tent - a BIG top
An Anna Kournikova - looks great, but unlikely to get a result
A Vinnie Jones - nasty kick when you're not expecting it
